Her Majesty's dominions unless and until an Act of Parliament otherwise provides,
and furthermore that Her Majesty's Government will never enter into arrangements
under which the people of Gibraltar would pass under the sovereignty of another
state against their freely and democratically expressed wishes:And whereas the people of Gibraltar have in a referendum held on [date] freely
approved and accepted the Constitution annexed to this Order which gives the people
of Gibraltar that degree of self-government which is compatible with British
Sovereignty of Gibraltar and with the fact that the UK remains fully responsible
for Gibraltar's external relations."
